Patriarchs & Prophets

Moses and the Burning Bush

Moses, white-bearded and leaning on his staff, lifts an open hand toward a living blue-white blaze that pours through a bush on a rocky mountainside. His sandals rest on the stone beside him. The scene is painted in loose, luminous brushwork, with warm light on the cliffs and cool fire in the gorge.

The painting interprets the burning bush as living blue light. The sandals on the rock recall 'Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground' (Exodus 3:5).

Scripture

  • Acts 7:30-33Stephen retells the burning bush at Mount Sinai.
About the file

What this file can honestly print

Measured from the real master files. Effective resolution is an upper bound (it assumes the print matches the image shape; a crop lowers it). Around 150 dpi and above looks good at normal wall distance, and 240 and above is excellent.

Ideal canvas sizes

This painting is a wide panorama (16:9). For a canvas with nothing cut off, order one of the exact-fit sizes - most online canvas printers accept custom sizes. Standard sizes work too but trim the edges. The $29 Personal file is 4,500 px wide, so it suits smaller canvases; the Large-Format and Church files are full resolution.

Gallery-wrapped canvas folds about 1.5 in around each edge; choose the printer's "mirror" wrap so the painting itself stays on the front. Keep faces and painted lettering away from the edges.
